Wielewaal

The central building is divided into 3 functional zones. The entrance, recreation room, medical and paramedical facilities and office functions are housed in the head of the building. The tail end of the building is formed around a therapeutic bath. The building, through its programmatic scope and sheer scale, sticks out compared to the neighbouring buildings. The building mass is focused at the head of the building, rendered in a dynamic and strong volume, from where one has a great view. The residential buildings for 102 mentally disabled persons establish a set rhythm and stand apart from each other in the surrounding green and are connected by an informal path. Each residence houses two groups of residents. Each residential building features a separate entry with its own color scheme which makes it easily recognizable for the occupants. The downstairs units have gardens on the south-west and the upstairs units feature spacious terraces on the south.
